GOING: G(4)

Jarrod Arentz Electrical & Solar Solutions Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy He's A Hustler leading the way. HE'S A HUSTLER (5) is third up off solid efforts, and he was caught wide as a $2.3 favourite over 1206m at Terang last time. Has a handy gate, and Coffey is a key jockey switch. Has the blinkers on for the first time and can make amends. THE LADY VENUS (11) turned in a good effort at Warracknabeal over 1200m, beaten just 0.6 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now, and keeping the 2kg claim is a winning chance. Wary of JUNO'S SONG (9), who has won her last three jumpouts. She will be right in it, bringing that form to raceday, but she has to manage an awkward gate. INFINITE GAME (6) was slow off and didn't do a bad job at Yarra Valley on debut. He's been well-prepared for that and can do better here. ALVIN (1) will be better for his first start for the new yard, but needs to find plenty to be winning. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's A Hustler to win.
